It seems again, that I have another branch of the family that had no children. I was most interested in Lizzie's husband. He comes from a long line of families with many many children who just seemed to stop having them in this generation, and I was so hoping to find children from this union. And please, don't worry about how last names were spelled. They are often spelled two or three ways on the same document. Again, many thanks to both of you for your kind help.
